    EP 25: Bits and Bots with Tyler Rothrock

    Comedian Tyler Rothrock joins me on Jaywalking as we retrace how we first connected in comedy—and then wander (or “Jaywalk”) into a deep conversation about the role of AI in life, creativity, and education. It’s one of those talks that could have gone on for hours: equal parts funny, thoughtful, and eye-opening. 👉 Be sure to keep an eye out for Tyler’s new comedy special “On the Run”, dropping soon! If you’re curious about where comedy and technology collide—or just love a good, unfiltered conversation—you won’t want to miss this one!

    EP 24: Big Livin’

    This week on Jaywalking, Meredith joins me to swap vacation stories, share the highs and lows of being dog parents, and talk about the unique challenges (and unexpected perks) of being a big person on the road — and in restaurants. From road trip snacks to Applebee’s seating strategies, we cover it all… because nobody puts baby in a corner, and nobody puts us in a corner booth.

    EP 23: Yoder Family Vacation

    My youngest joined me on Jaywalking today — she’s shy at first, but we had a blast talking about vacations, school, and her big sister Elysia… including the many creative ways Elysia manages to escape. Think of it as a wholesome family chat with just enough chaos to keep it interesting.

    EP 22: The Dairy Prince

    On this episode, comic Bhavik Patel joins me to talk comedy, culture, and career pivots. We get into what it’s like growing up with Indian parents who had big expectations, how his engineering background shapes his comedy, and the life lessons scooped up while working at his family’s Dairy Queen. From pressure to perform (academically and on stage) to the power of soft serve and stand-up, this one’s full of heart, hustle, and hilarious truths.

    EP 21: The Road to Laughter

    Jay sits down with fellow Scrantonian and comedian Zach Hammond for an honest, funny, and refreshingly earnest conversation about life on the road, growing up in the Electric City, and how the skills honed in stand-up—like reading a room, timing, and rolling with punches—translate far beyond the stage. It’s two comics catching up and trading notes on comedy, travel, and the unexpected wisdom that comes from chasing laughs across the country.

    EP 20: Teacher and Student Reunited

    What happens when your former student grows up, chases their dreams, and ends up in the same world as you? In this special episode of Jaywalking, Jay reunites with Morgan—once a middle schooler in his class, now a 30-year-old pursuing a career in the performing arts. They swap stories, reflect on how far they’ve come, and Morgan shares the moments that stuck with her most from having Jay as a teacher. It’s funny, full-circle, and proof that the classroom is just the beginning.

    EP 19: Lions, Tigers and AI…Oh my!

    In Part 2 of Jay’s conversation with childhood best friend Stephen McConnell, they veer from personal to planetary—unpacking the wild world of artificial intelligence. Steve’s not just a guy with good takes—he’s a professor of media and AI at UNC and NYU. Jay asks the questions we’re all thinking: What is AI really doing? Can we trust the TikTok algorithm? Is ChatGPT just Clippy with ambition? It’s a hilarious, honest, and surprisingly hopeful look at the future of tech, teaching, and what it means to be human in a world getting way too smart for its own good.
